Kobe will never get the respect he deserves. ESPN has a good article on it. How Kobe is a bad teammate and ran off Phil jackson. YET, Jordan was knocking out teammates in practice and ran off Doug Collins when he coached the Bulls. Thats probably why he brought him back to coach the Wizards....to make up for being a jackass. And no one ever gives Shaq credit for breaking up the Lakers. He is due ALOT of blame for what happened.
He cant win. takes 10 shots, he gets ridiculed for trying to make a point. He shoots 30 times and he is shooting too much. I even heard an arguement that during that stretch he only averaged 4.4 assists per game. SO WHAT! If I were on fire like that and hte star of the team, i would expect the ball. If I were in a game and my teammate couldnt miss, I would pad my assists by feeding them the ball.
Kobe is a beast plain and simple. Even the most jealous hater should be able to see that
